Abstract
Uncontrolled urbanization has harmfully affected the physical environment, the structure of cities, and, therefore, people's physical and mental well-being. The strong link between mental health, well-being, and architecture needs consideration. This paper attempts to identify factors that make places well-being and design interventions to improve or create well-being.For this research, field surveys, questionnaires, and observationswere conducted in the public areas of Abbottabad, Pakistan. All the indicators of a well-being city,either weak or strong,highlighted in the built environment are based on the research-based designed questionnaire marked by the residents of Abbottabad.These considerations and techniques are expected to become valuable tools for future urban designers, architects, and urban planners, as they aim to design positive user experiences and set city-shaping policies for well-being cities in future planning and design.
